An expensive hotel with inadequate room facilities.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent

Cons:

The Room for £320 a night was dated and the Shower worked in the evening but the following morning did not function.
The toilet seat waws also loose and kept slipping. We were expecting a bigger room as I had upgraded.

Hotel di Charme nelle Coatswold
Pros:

Hotel molto bello e caratteristico! Camera 6 iconica, personale gentile e disponibile. Posizione centrale! Colazione varia, ottima e servita al tavolo!

Cons:

La cena nel ristorante dell’hotel troppo confusionaria e rumorosa. Qualità buona con servizio discutibile!

Very good, but dining area atmosphere less so.
Pros:

Very pleasant staff, excellent location and looked after.

Cons:

“Canned music” in the dining area was a little too loud and in my opinion is detrimental to the quality of the hotel.

The Sheep is smart, comfortable as well as good value. Its worth a stay there.
Pros:

The Sheep has a nice ambiance, smart, clean and very comfortable, our room (No 8) was a good size with coffee/tea making facilities and some delicious cookies, very good shower and comfortable bed. The food and service were really good with all the staff being friendly and attentive; I recommend the Steak & Ale pie as well as the Linguini. It’s an easy short walk into Stow. Our room was at the front so looked out onto the road but traffic noise was not a problem. We found a space in the car park which is a bonus as Stow does get very busy. We’ll be going back sometime for sure.

Cons:

It worked for us :-)

Nostalgic return for a special anniversary
Pros:

We first stayed at this hotel on our Honeymoon 30 years ago, the returned 13 years after where the facilities and hotel had sadly deteriorated. Following a change of ownership and development the hotel is again a gem The rooms have been renovated to a high specification as has the bar and dining area. The staff were polite and efficient.

Cons:

There isn't anything to comment on.

Lovely stay from beginning to end, nice to walk out of your hotel without needing to drive. Nice bar, rooms comfortable
Pros:

Great location, easy to get about on foot close by or to drive to other villages very easily. We were upgraded on arrival which was very kind & our room location was excellent on ground floor just to the side of the beer garden. It was nice to purchase drinks from the bar & take them across to the room, we even borrowed Scrabble & Connect 4 ! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms lovely & clean

Cons:

Couldn’t really fault this property 😊

A friendly, inviting, comfortable stay.
Pros:

Great location. Parking available if you turn up in the morning. Friendly and super helpful staff. Lovely bathrooms, showers were amazing, warm towel rail. Room 10 had a window in the bathroom with was lovely. I had an issue with our first room being to hot and stuffy, this was dealt with straight away and we were allocated a different room

Cons:

My main meal was wrong snd had to be corrected twice. Glasses are a bit grubby in restaurant and rooms. Shower cap, slippers etc would be a nice touch as they are not cheap rooms.
